im going to tell my nurse practioner that if they can stop the vomitting somehow, im willing to keep the stent in but if the vomitting cant be controlled, the stent must come out!

i dont wanna feel like i wasted 2weeks for nothing. i pray that maybe my leak is already healed but something tells me that with the lack of nutrition & constant vomitting.... i doubt it.

I worry that the vomiting is just going to keep the leak open with it contracting the stomach. I hope not - I guess if the expert isn't worried maybe not.

Can't they give you a TPN through a PICC line until your issues are resolved? I can't believe they haven't suggested that to you. You can do that at you own home, you don't phave to be hospitalized. They could also put other meds and Vitamins in with it. Nothing goes into your stomach and you do not gain weight. i was on one for 18 days cuz they thought I had a leak in my esophagus from the hiatial hernia part of the surgery. If you have a leak, I would think that they would have put you on it already. i am praying for you and just can't imagine what you must be going through!

The TPN is for food and nourishment. I was on 1300 calorie bag per day, but you don't gain weight and then after you stop it, you lose some Water weight the first week off. i think you should ask about it since it sounds to me like it would do you good while the leak is healing.

I was on a much higher calorie tpn..I gained 13 pounds but it was worth it and I lost the 13 pounds a little over a week after I went off of it. If you feel as bad as you say you do,,I can't believe they haven't suggested this to you either.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
